Charity’s call to boost Poppy Appeal for Armed Forces

The city branch of the British Legion is calling on over-16s to man stands selling badges and collect donations, from October 26 to November 10 this year.

Debbie Westlake, community fundraiser for the British Legion in South Yorkshire, said: “You need not be ex-service or have any links with the Armed Forces. All you need is a desire to help and support our beneficiaries. It is the best way to raise funds for our Armed Forces and their families who might need our help long after they have returned.”
